Activate Prior Knowledge (APK)
Sub-Skill

2. Students do the 2nd problem. Use whiteboards if needed. Students pair-share results.
3. Teacher selects students to check results.
4. Teacher makes connection to the LO.
Guided Practice
1. Teacher & students read a step.

4. Teacher selects student to explain their thinking.
Repeat process for each step 
Universal Experience
1. Teacher presents scenario and an example.

Relevance (REL)

Concept Development (CD)
Closure (CL)

5. Teacher selects students to share their response.
Repeat process for each CFU question
1. Students complete each item without teacher guidance.
2. Teacher decides which students are ready for independent work.
Independent Practice (IND) & Periodic Review (PR)
1. Teacher re-introduces LO and CD vocabulary.
2. Teacher provides guidance appropriate to their prior success.
